The Hanoverian

Black Tie stud from Triad Farms

Breeding Goal
Directly from The American Hanoverian Registry
The breed retains the substantial bone, sturdiness and stamina of its heritage: nearly 300 years ago the Hanoverian was bred to serve as a robust carriage and military horse. Since the end of World War II, the breeding goal has been to exclusively produce a more versatile performance horse. Breeding stock is very carefully inspected and selected for correct conformation, athletic ability and inner qualities such as disposition and trainability. The Hanoverian has natural impulsion and light and elastic gaits characterized by a ground-covering walk, a floating trot, and a soft, round, rhythmic canter.

Breeding Advice
Keep in mind, these desired traits are taken straight from the Hanoverian Society, and are known characteristics of the breed.

• Size should be an average of approximately 16.1h with a big frame and well defined outline.
• Should not be too stocky or rough, head should match the size of the horse's body with no roman nose or dished face.
• Neck; well proportioned developed, growing smaller towards the head \; light and flexible connection between neck and head (light poll), set at right angle to the shoulder with a clear and well muscled crest to the top.
• a long, sloping shoulder, clearly pronounced withers, extending far back an connected to a slightly downward pointing top line.
• rectangular horse, big outline and compact with harmonious top line, in other words long neck, sloping shoulder \; long withers \; a long enough back \; broad, well muscled loins \; long, sloping, well muscled croup \; body, divided about even into forehand, middlepiece and hind quarters \; a deep enough chest with compact flanks.

I too am focused on the Hanoverian. We will need the Holstein I believe because the Hanoverian is the TB x Holstein.

I'm working towards Knabstrups so need a lot of these breeds too . I currently have some TBs, WABs, Exmoors, Mongolians and Akhal-Tekes, and I'm currently using these to produce the next breeds needed along the line. If anyone wants to use some of my studs (or indeed some of my mares) I have some horses on this account, and a lot sitting in my other account (reyn2) waiting for when they are needed.

Oh, whoops. Yea, I wrote down the Holstein cross wrong. Go figure. I have it all written down for reference and I just typed out Hanoverian instead of Holstein. I keep getting Exmoor and WAB colts, I've kept one Exmoor so far, for the future. I'll keep my studs up for anyone's use too.

I have NT x CB and Tb x trak crosses waiting for the Holstein update. Having the hardest time getting a pure CB. Not easy.
Looking forward to sharing our accomplishments!!

I've hit Carthusian and Half Thoroughbreds... but I've overrun myself with WAB's and WABxTarpan's. I feel like I need more variety though. They are all from the same Stud pretty much. Any of you have good Sorraia's? Not much to choose from on the For Stud search.

[QuesthavenFarms]

No I have mostly, CB, NT, TB,TRAK and those crosses.
